Radiosity and realistic image synthesis

Аннотация

The cover image shows the interior of Le Corbusier’s Chapel at Ronchamp, France. The illumination was computed using radiosity, with the sunbeams added by stochastic ray tracing during rendering [109, 110]. The model was created by Paul Boudreau, Keith Howie, and Eric Haines at 3D/EYE, Inc. with HewlettPackard’s ARTCore Radiosity and Ray Tracing library. The image is a frame from the animation The Key is Light presented at the Siggraph ’91 Electronic Theater. The video was produced by Hewlett-Packard Company TV, with extensive help from Becky Naqvi, John Fujii, and Ron Firooz at Hewlett-Packard Company.
